CURE OF PILES.
ubscriber begs leave to offer to
the attention of those who are subject
to that most disagreeable of disorders,
TIME PILES,
A remedy, the efficacy of which has been
tested by the experience of years, and the
utility of which has in no instance been
impaired from failure to relieve. To
those who have been subjected to this
disease, it will prove, if applied when re
attached, a sure preventative to its contin
uance, without the least pmn; indeed ma
ny have pronounced it the most agreeable
remedy ever applied. There can be no
danger in its use, as its component parts
are ot harmless vegetable matter.
The mother of the subscriber who is the
maker of the Ointment, has been in the
habit of giving it to her friends and neigh
bors for the last five or six years, and in
no instance to her knowledge has its ap
plication been ineffectual, as will be sten
by a number of certificates annexed, as
well as the testimony of a medical gentle
man who has used it himself and prescii
bed it to the relief of rubers.
. Those who are suffering will do well to
matte a wiai m me remedy. Its eliieacy is
guaranteed, and there rn be no doubt
but that the disorder may be arrested in its
earliest Stale, if no delay be made in its ap
plication. The directions for use will be found on
each bottle.

Vegetable JLifc Medicines.
np HESE medicines are indebted for
their name to their manifest and
sensible action in purifying the springs and
channels of life, and enduing them wilb
renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dreds of certified cases which have been
made public, mid in almost every species
of disease to which the human frame is
liable, the happy effects of
XJlcPiHd & 1'heuix Kilters,
Have been .gratefully and publicly ac-
nowledged by the persons benefitted, and
who were previously unacquainted with
the beautifully philosophical principles up-,
on which they are compounded, and up
on which i hey consequently an.
The &ife tiled i einrs
Recommend themselves in diseases of
every form and description. Their first
operation is to loosen from the coats of
ihe stomach and i lowels, the various im
purities and crudities constantly sealing
around them, and to remove the hardened
fVeces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intestines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to pro
duce habitual costiveuess, with alt its
train of etils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its
imminent dangers. This fact is well
known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death; and
hence the prejudice of these well informed
men against quack medicines or me
dicines prepared and heralded to the pub
lic by ignorant persons. The second
effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse
ihe kidneys and the bladder, and by this
means, the liver h the lungs, the healthful
action of which entirely depeuds upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. The
blood, which takes its red color from the
agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heart, being thus purified bv
them and nourished by food coming from
a clean stomach, courses freely thro' the
veins, renews every part of the system,
and triumphantly mounts the banner of
health in the blooming cheek.

FEVER AND AGUE, particula. ly, the
Life Medicines have been most eminently
successful; so much so that in the Fever
and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his pa
tients is, to be particular in taking the Life
Medicines strictly according lo the direc
tions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or
by any thing that he himself raav savin
their favor, that he hopes to gain credit.
It is alone by the results of a fair trial.

Tomato (aid Slippery MZtm
Ip H ERE are many tamily medicines
now before the public, some ol which,
from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude of
thousand'?; but in the light of contrast, and
in ihe sc ale of curative merit, Dr. Harrell'h
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them allj nor is an
apology offered for taking this high
ground, unless il is the fact of their supe
perior, and almost miraculous effects in the
cure of diseases. They produce, w hen ta
ken, a deep and listing impression lhat
they stand at the head ol all other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Livet
affection?, Jaundice, head-ache, loss ol
appetile, cosiiveness, female complaints,
and every disease within the reach of hu
man means; yield readily to the power
ful, yet gentle operation of these pills.
As a cathartic th,y are copious and free,
as an aperient they are mild and certain,
as a tonic they are prompt and invigorating,
as.an alterative they are superior to Calo
mel or any other known remedy, and as a
purifyer of the blood they are unequalled
in the history of medicines. There is no
disease can withstand their life-giving en
ergy when taken in time, or interrupt the
system at all when they are administered
as a preventative. During sickly sea
sons, and the prevalence of epidemicks,
their occasional use uill preserve the
body from attacks of disease. 50 cents
per box. $54 per gross.
